Thank you Michael for the analysis.  This bug has affected me too, and I
think is particularly likely to affect security-conscious users since
removing extra kernel modules is a basic hardening step. 

Here are two other bug reports on this issue:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760513
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769356

and one blog post from someone who encountered this on a Wheezy ->
Jessie upgrade due to the 'ipmitool' package (rather than cups).

This is a security issue and really needs to be fixed -- how do we get
this out to users?
